Mnuchin amusedly responded to some of the reaction this morning on Fox News Sunday, with Chris Wallace noting how some people were calling them “Bond villains.”

“I never thought I’d be quoted as looking like villains from James Bond,” Mnuchin said. “I guess I should take that as a compliment that I look like a villain in a great, successful James Bond movie.”
